    Tell Charlie his truck is awesome, I hope I can handle a build like that when I'm his age.
     
  3. Charlie wants me to thank everyone for all the kind words. he is looking forward to getting it back from the upholstery shop so he can test drive it.
     
  4. the engine and compartment area is awesome..... looks great
     
  5. this is probably one of the smoothest, and quietist bangers i have ever heard.

    Charlie's top is done and now he and Dave are making up the side curtains.
    They are fabricating the frames and the method of attaching them to the doors.

    After that Dave will make up the curtains.

    Very, very nice.
     
  13. Charlie formed the removable top from E.M.T. using a simple Hickey. he is around 6ft tall and made it so he had enough clearance.
    Tackspitter, nice job!

    wow, the more you look the more you see. dual tail lights, T-5, hydraulic brakes, modified banger, reversed spring eyes, tube shocks. does the driving light turn with the wheels? and is that an electric motorcycle?

    No, the car is not on it's side . Couldn't get the pictures to rotate. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to this computer stuff.
